  1. Developed as Ian Fleming's SOLO starring Robert Vaughn, THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. soon became a duo after its debut on this date in 1964.

    “The part of Ilya was 5 lines," David McCallum said in 2021. “But the writers saw the relationship...and it grew.”

  2. Don Herbert (1917-2007) — a Peabody Award-winner as MR. WIZARD — was born on this date.

    Here he is teaching 1960s kids how to light his birthday candle. (Or make a bomb, I'm not sure.)

    Episodes of his TV shows from the 1950s-'80s are on his official YouTube:

  3. The Sixth Finger, a 1963 episode of The Outer Limits. A scientist tries to speed up human evolution. He creates a super-intelligent man, who sadly has a few issues. A bold and interesting episode.
